I opened it up a bit, there is room for 16 players, I will turn on auto-draft towards the end of pre-season.

scoring is straight up normal yahoo league rules with a couple of variations,


All can change, but I am trying to keep it as standard as possible.


Hope to see you there

auto pick is just easier but if enough people want to change it i will,

everything is up to change. If enough people want to change i will.

Let's go Turbos!

Im up.... this should be fun, although im going to be in 2 other leagues too!

i am the royal swiss navy, i was thequakers last year

I'm in, The Suarez this year, The Bill Hicks last year.

bill hicks!!! you bastard you ruined my playoffs i think :D

Yeah, I think that was me, but I didn't win the whole thing :p

Bump

The Isotopes are back and looking to bounce back after an 3-11 record last yr. Didn't Shiggins win last yr ?

bump

Im in....should be fun. Ive played the last few years

bump

Ahhhh man, if I new about this before I would have joined. Sorry guys...I'm already in a league with my brother and I've seen that two teams are too much for me to work with. Next year I'll join (but FYI, the NFL version of fantasy football seems much better and it's FREE).

I've played yahoo fantasy for 3 years and won a championship with two 2nd place finishes so I'll try to join you all next year.

I'm in :)

I signed in this morning. I was here last year also. The only change I would suggest is a league vote on trades instead of Commissioner approval.

As long as everyone is trying trades should be pretty fair....we can re-open this thread to bitch about stuff we don't like if necessary. Btw...my team is the X-men

I agree. I don't recall an issues with trades from last year. I guess I'm just more concious of the potential for trade problems becauses of some issues in the baseball leagues I've been in this year.

ok it is being done now

We need a few more team to make a good competitive league. I think we need at least 12 and 16 would be even better.

How are you doing the draft? Will it be a live draft or auto pick?

The league is set up to be a max of 16 teams, The draft is auto pick, I was thinking of doing the draft at the end of the month to give us enough time to add teams. It also gives us a week before the game to do trades and what not.

OK, I can't do it this year. I'll be away from any computers the end of Aug/beginning of Sept. So, it's best if I stay out, I think.

It was fun last year, though. I think 16 teams is approaching too many. Very challenging! :D

when does the draft start again?

you tell me when and i will start it

I think we should wait until about a week before the first regular season game. This will give us time to get more teams and still allow time for roster adjustments between draft day and the first game.

Well if we get all 16 teams filled we may as well do the draft...I think there's only 10 so far

AUTODRAFT is weak.

With even 8 teams, autodraft takes all the skill out of it.

I'll play if it's live draft...

live draft is hard to organize and takes too long

Count me in, Red Rotors.

it's not hard to organize at all. you pick a time, and those who can't show up get autodrafted.

I do it every year in my other yahoo league. Lemme know if you're going to be firm on auto-pick, cuz i'll pull out.

if enough people want to do a draft I will do it. Just let me know

Hell put me down.

Im in (Rotator Cuffs) i think its at 13 teams
i def vote for live draft too, very easy to organize, and those who can't make it, just pre draft themselves and the computer picks based on each persons personal rankings....

How about live draft aug 28th (sunday) 7pm or so.

why not, live-draft.

I'm a "don't care" for the live draft

heh heh....at the moment I'm scheduled to play remy lebleu (lebeau?) on the first week

nerds will find this funny

The Isotopes are back and looking to bounce back after an 3-11 record last yr. Didn't Shiggins win last yr ?

It's you and me the first week buddy and with your fantastic record from last year, I'm thinking my season will be off to a great start!!

How about live draft aug 28th (sunday) 7pm or so.

Fine with me

So long as we have a live draft. Plus it'll be a good chance to get together and converse real-time with each other...

How would a live draft work if we're all in different locations?

^the magic of the internet

Do you have a certain amount of time to pick?

has anyone done this before? How long does it take?

^the magic of the internet

ive done it before, its pretty easy- once you make your team, navigate in the menus and pre rank your players......
you can rank whoever, wherever you want. Then during the draft, if you can't make it 'live' the computer picks based on your pre ranked players lists-eliminating those players already chosed of course.....

if you can make it live though, of course you can do it yourself...
it takes no more than an hour, and all can do at once, just using the magical internet.:)

Problem, the live draft dates are only M-F, and the Times are 8-5. And we can not do it On Monday Sept 5th. So do you want to work this? Some one throw out a time suggestion.

If you do a live draft, put me in for auto, because I work during those times

Normally I'd be down for live drafting during the weekdays, but work should be getting crazy around then. I've already pre-ranked my players just in case.

that can't be right. Live drafts have been allowed at any time. Are you sure you've got that correct?

I see on the forums people having drafts at different times and on the weekend. Where are you seeing business hours only drafting?

From when I searched for custom leagues...

Those are all Sunday drafts after 5 PM. We should be able to live draft whenever we want...

Come on guys...we need two more teams then we're full....and we can draft it

i might have 2 more people, i'm working on them

I know I seem them too, but when i try to find a time for us that is not 8 to 5 i can not get it. In fact the number of slots keeps dropping. I think it probly is a first come first serve type of thing. Also remember we are a free league too. I just changed draft from auto to live so it could be that they are all taken. I will keep looking. I want this to make.

anyone want to make the draft sooner?

all 16 teams are filled, and we're not really accomplishing anything waiting almost 3 weeks to draft players

I don't want to draft right now. I'd rather wait three more weeks. A lot of injuries or other news can happen during the preseason in three weeks, and I would rather not have one of us draft someone only to have them become injured before the season starts.

Good point

So what are we going to do? Auto Draft or a live draft during business hours.

I think its Live Draft August 29 at 9:30 est.

I randomly picked a time i can still change it to what ever time are still available

I'm with you on that one. Lets get it over with so we can take care of Roster Changes or Possible trades.

The later the draft, the better. Having the draft right now is almost a guarantee someone gets screwed on their first round pick. Wait until pre-season has done it's damage. It's the best way.

I don't see where we would accomplish anything by drafting early. The regular season still won't start until 9/8 and 8/29 gives us plenty of time for roster changes, etc. Waiting until then also gives us time to see who gets injured, how players coming back from injuries are doing, what rookies are likely to get playing time, etc. :cool:

Hell, Rex Grossman already went down, and in a league with 16 teams that could be significant. The draft is good where it is.

^I was just about to mention that....I'd probly take someone's backup over Grossman anyway :-P

i just realized this is fanasty football.

I was really hoping for fantasy football, or maybe even fatnasty football...

so aug. 29 at 9:30?

The message below is just proof that I'm an idiot.

That is all.

11:30 pacific time is 2:30pm eastern

^I noticed that too

got the date changed to Sunday 28th at 8pm. Which should put it 9 for the east 6 for the west

shoot, I might not be able to make it.

no one has said anything about date changes what will work for you

Full... bummer. We need more leagues?

got the date changed to Sunday 28th at 8pm. Which should put it 9 for the east 6 for the west
Fine....but I don't really care if I can't because autopick will do it for me :)

yeah I won't be able to make it Sunday.


Oh well :( Any other day is fine, really

Draft is tonight....I haven't been able to do the test thingie with mozilla....might have to steal the gf's laptop

i have Mozilla too, but mine worked, just try it again with the test window open

I think i'm missing some kinda plugin it won't install

draft in 15 mins

Anyone want T.Owens? I'm willing to trade for a premier RB.

Will you trade him for Ricky Williams? ;)

sweet i knew ricky williams was a good 15th round pick!

He's better than any RB she's got :D

He's better than any RB she's got :D

Because Culpepper has someone to throw to, Smith is a hypochondriac, Porter will be in Moss' shadow all season, McCareins who?, the midget Westbrook, rookie Williams, anybody named "Bubba" can't be much of a receiver :rolleyes:, how can Pollard catch if Detriot can't throw? :confused:, Ted Nugent is your kicker? :eek: and the Eagles are getting shot up!

Bring it on!!!

snap lol...but in all seriousness i'll take TO off your hands for ricky williams.

I know this is a dumb question but how exactly does Fantasy Football work? If the QB scores a touchdown throw that week and my WR catches a touchdown that week is that 2 touchdowns?

yup...its all individual stats, there are thrown TDs and received TDs. The caveat of playing a player you're qb is throwing to is the problem that if you're qb doesnt get any touchdowns, neither is your WR and thats two players not producing for ya.

snap lol...but in all seriousness i'll take TO off your hands for ricky williams.

Let's see if he's a starter after the suspension.

hehe...actually same reason i was curious about him and picked him up. If he's a starter he'll be prety good...big if though

I know this is a dumb question but how exactly does Fantasy Football work? If the QB scores a touchdown throw that week and my WR catches a touchdown that week is that 2 touchdowns?

Yes, let me tell you about one game where I was screwed last year in this league. I think it was a Monday night game with the Ravens. I was winning by a handy margin, and it was in the final seconds. The Raven's opponents were down by like 5 and driving. For the last play of the game they threw an interception in the endzone to Ed Reed, who then ran the ball back for a touchdown. Last year we had defensive players as well as defenses, and my opponent had both Ed Reed and the Baltimore defense, so he got double credit for it and I lost by like 1 point or something.

Because Culpepper has someone to throw to, Smith is a hypochondriac, Porter will be in Moss' shadow all season, McCareins who?, the midget Westbrook, rookie Williams, anybody named "Bubba" can't be much of a receiver :rolleyes:, how can Pollard catch if Detriot can't throw? :confused:, Ted Nugent is your kicker? :eek: and the Eagles are getting shot up!

Bring it on!!!
1. Culpepper's got a lot to throw to, and then he can run it :)
2. Smith broke his collarbone or something last year, he's fine now
3. D's will be distracted by moss, so porter will be open (and the other good rec.'s were already gone)
4. McCareins ...uhh...the other good oens were gone, besides, I think travis taylor will come on pretty strong
5. Westbrook scores a lot and catches a lotta passes
6. Cadillac looks good, and I got Mike Anderson as a backup
7. BUBBA was the 8th highest scoring TE last year (evne though I hate the pack)
8. Watched the game last night....you're right, harrington sucks, but I wasn't gonna take the remaining TE's
9. I take kickers from teams I think can't finish the job in the red zone...i've been unimpressed with the J-E-T-S
10. Eagles getting shot up? No. just, no.



NOW

Chad Pennington - speaking of hypochondriac babies...., Owens will be good if he stops whining long enough to catch a pass, Holt is still on an overstocked offense with two good runners and another good reciever, jimmy smith is so old he may as well retire, kevan barlow is just bad, I had him last year, never even heard of Hoover, but at best he's a third stringer, a tight end from CLEVELAND...they can't even pass to the receivers!, you got the #2 TE from Dallas, Vanderjagt's gonna be kickin a lotta xp's, .......and MINNESOTA'S defense -- could turn out ok, but at the moment they're jsut average

Yeah, i'm scared of the red rotors

Hoover catches some passes out of the backfield as an outlet decently often. He's a fullback so he's in for quite a few plays.

I'm scared of the rotator cuffs :eek:

Who is the Rayvans? And yes, I'm from Texas. :D

Hello Win Column Baby!!! I am very pleased with the way my team performed this week.

triple digits in a sixteen team league...you all should fear my swiss navy.

I won and I didn't even play a full roster!! Better be shakin' in your booties...

Anyone willing to trade a decent running back for Plaxico Burress or Dante Hall?

Everyone who gloated over their victories in week one lost in week two. Maybe we'd better play out the rest of the season after all. :cool:

I won and I didn't even play a full roster!! Better be shakin' in your booties...
not against me ya didn't :)

and some people have to ck. their teams....they have players in on thier bye weeks

It's still early but so far it looks like a well balanced league. I don't see anyone with a team that looks like it's going to run away from the pack.

In reference to some teams having players on their starting rosters in a bye week. some teams seem to play better without a full deck. Also some teams don't have a back-up a every position and don't want to risk losing someone to waivers that they might need later. There are also several managers who haven't touched their teams since July or early August.
